Re: ques. from newbie re:MIS inks

2007-10-20 by Kirk Decker

My experience was with two new R220's.  One of them got the OEM inks
that came in the box.  When I turned on the printer, the registration
and warranty screens came up and everything was fine.  The other
printer got the MIS inkset.  When I turned on the printer a screen
came up asking me if I was aware that I was not using Epson inks and
if I was aware that bad things were about to happen.  "Yes" I said. 
The registration and warranty screens did not appear.  I made some
prints and everything was fine.  For me, the only difference between
OEM and MIS was the "opportunity" to register the printer with Epson.

to get it up and running (it is new) then switch to the MIS inks,
purge out the old GO and black inks, then I will be ready to print.
